Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #6 Eat Only When You Are Hungry, Stop Sticking to Meal Times
Many overweight people who stick to meal times such as noon and 7 pm eat when they are not hungry. This can cause the premature intake of calories too soon, and such build-up of unneeded calories can cause weight gain.
Eating when one is not hungry can be the same as eating unnecessarily, which can cause weight gain.
When a person starts eating before hunger sets in, one might be prematurely taking in calories that might not yet be needed by the body especially for those who are already overweight. This can cause the conversion of unneeded calories into fat that gets stored in the body.
The trick to overcome this is to eat only when one is hungry. This means delaying a meal time until one is hungry. Instead of eating dinner at 7 when one is not yet hungry, one can delay the meal time and eat later when one feels hungry.
This method is not to starve oneself but to eat when one really feels the real need for calories.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #5 Replace Sugar with Stevia for Everything
There are many foods that contain sugar in them such as sweet drinks, jelly, nuts, jam, cookies, cakes, tarts, pies, even sauces. The sugar in them can get converted into fat easily.
One can already get stevia from the supermarket or even grow the stevia plant in one's backyard. The leaves of the stevia plant can be grounded and added into home-made jam, jelly, drinks, smoothies, sauces, and baked goods. it can even be sprinkled onto cut fruits.
For foods that require lots of sweetening to taste good, using stevia would be very effectively in replacing the unnecessary calories without having the detrimental effects.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #4 Replace Common Fatty Foods with Less Fatty Options
There are many foods rich in LCT fats(long chain triglycerides that are slow to metabolize and can increase weight and keep it on) that keep people over-weight. Some of these foods include mayonnaise, cheese, dairy milk, creamy pasta sauces, tomato sauce, gravy, ice-cream etc
Instead of mayonnaise, one can make home-made mayo with coconut oil and non-dairy milk. Add some coconut oil, unsweetened non-dairy milk, some garlic and vinegar or lemon juice in a big jar, then use a hand blender to turn it into creamy mayonnaise. I mentioned in weight loss tip #1 that coconut oil can create thermogenesis for weight loss, so this coconut oil mayo is a guilt-free weight-loss mayo. This hand blender technique can also be used to make coconut ice-cream, just leave out the garlic and vinegar and use stevia as a sweetener. Add strawberries to turn it into fruit ice-cream.
Instead of using dairy cheese for spaghetti and pasta, using nutritional yeast flakes that tastes the same without the high fat content. Just sprinkle onto pasta like parmesan cheese powder and it is good to go.
Instead of drinking dairy milk and yogurt high in fat, choose unsweetened non-dairy milk and yogurt.
Instead of relying on creamy sauces to flavor foods, use coconut mayo and fresh/dried Italian herbs and spices.
You can make your own tomato sauce with bottled tomato paste with dried Italian herbs, salt, vinegar, garlic and a little stevia for some sweetness.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #3 Include Fluid-Rich Foods During Meals to Boost Satiety
Fluids in food can increase the feeling of satiety or the feeling of being full. Rather than rely on foods that are low in fluids that can cause one to eat much before feeling full, choose the foods that are high in water content. Such foods that are high in fluids can also improve digestion and prevent constipation.
Many people don't realize that vegetables and fruits that are very high in water content can boost satiety and promote weight loss. They also make one feel very refreshed and promote good sleep. These foods are the best choice for the foods high in water content.
One can also choose other foods such as ramen noodles in clear soup, miso with seaweed soup, rice porridge, pasta in soup broth, minestrone soup, curry gravy.
For dessert, choose to eat fruits such as watermelon and honeydew that can make one feel refreshed rather than the dense dry desserts that are low in water content but high in carbs, sugar and fat.
For breakfast, oatmeal porridge, fruit and vegetable smoothies, and cereal in unsweetened non-dairy milk are good choices.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #2 Satisfy Your Thirst Before Having Meals
Many overweight people don't really understand whether all the hunger they feel really comes from the need to eat food or the need to satisfy their thirst for fluids. If they confuse thirst with hungry, they might eat too much unnecessarily during meals and gain weight or keep weight on.
What I recommend is to drink a good amount of water right after waking up from bed in the morning. This not only gets the body hydrated, feel refreshed, and lessen the feeling of hunger, but it can also dilute the acidity in the stomach and prevent too much acidic reaction from digestion that could cause stomach discomforts. Many people don't realize that drinking water can prevent constipation.
Pure distilled water tastes really great and refreshing, and tastes the best in comparison to tap or filtered water, and having it on hand makes one want to drink it more often rather than the sugary drinks that can add unnecessary calories that can make one gain weight. It is best to get a water distiller rather than constantly buy bottled water from the supermarket.
Cold water requires the body to produce heat to warm it up to body temperature so the calories used for the heat production would also help one lose weight.
